mortality/aging
• following infection with T. gondii, mice exhibit increased mortality compared with wild-type mice

immune system
• TNP-KLH-stimulated mice fail to exhibit antigen-specific class switching unlike similarly treated wild-type mice
• however, class switching in mice treated with TNP-Ficoll is normal
• the ratio of B to T cells is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• B220+ B cells are reduced in the spleen and lymph nodes compared to in wild-type mice
• B cell reduction increased with age regardless of IgM or IgD expression
• CD3+ T cells are increased in the spleen and lymph nodes compared to in wild-type mice
• the white pulp is infiltrated with macrophage subpopulations that are normally completely excluded in wild-type mice
• no metallophillic macrophages are detected in the marginal zone unlike in wild-type mice
• splenic B cell follicles are decreased compared to in wild-type mice with a ring of B220+ cells surrounding the white pulp within the spleen
• however, when cells are adoptively transferred into Rag null mice can generate normal follicular areas
• in response to T-dependent antigens
• fewer marginal zone macrophages are detected in the outer ring of the marginal zone compared to in wild-type mice
• influenza-challenged mice produce fewer flu-specific IgG2a production compared with similarly treated wild-type mice
• in TNP-KLH-stimulated mice
• following infection with T. gondii, mice exhibit increased mortality compared with wild-type mice
